Patient's question:
There are two types of vaginal infections: candidiasis and trichomoniasis. How should you treat them? The color of the vaginal discharge is red, and there is a lot of discharge with occasional odor.Previous treatment and effectiveness:
Previously, antibiotics were administered monthly, but this worsened the candidiasis. Later, suppositories were used, but dead skin-like secretions often remained inside.
Now, the vaginal discharge is still red, excessive, and sometimes has an odor.
What treatment would be most effective for you?
Doctor's answer:
Different treatments for vaginitis vary depending on the type. If it is trichomoniasis vaginitis, metronidazole is generally recommended. If it is candidiasis vaginitis, antifungal medication is usually required for treatment. Regardless of the type of inflammation, it is important to pay attention to hygiene during treatment, wear loose and breathable clothing, change underwear frequently, avoid sexual activity during treatment, and also avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is recommended to sleep naked at night.
